Which agency duties survive termination of an agreement?

When an agency relationship ends (expiration, completion, mutual agreement, or termination), certain duties survive: chiefly confidentiality (protecting client confidences and motivations) and accounting (proper handling and return of money, keys, and documents; final accounting for trust funds). Duties such as loyalty and reasonable skill and care do not continue after termination.
